Bagdedin, Mahomet

, an Arabian mathematician,
is usually classed among the authors of the tenth century.
He is said to have written some treatises on geometry, and
among others, one entitled “De superficierum
|
divisionibus,” which Dr. Dee of London, and Frederic Commandini of Urbino, translated into Latin. The latter published
his translation at Pesaro in 1570, with another on the same
subject of his own composition. Some, however, are of
opinion that the original treatise was by Euclid, to whom
Proclus ascribes one on that subject, and that Bagdedin
was only the translator of it into the Arabic language. 1
